the first three were taken with my *istD at ISO 200 using my FA* 400 f5.6 with the Pentax A1.4X-L and then cropped exactly 50%. that means a total effective FOV of 400mm * 1.4 * 1.5 * 2.0 = 1680mm. the second three were taken with *istD at ISO 800 using my FA* 400 f5.6 with the Sigma AF APO 2.0 extender and then cropped 50% too. that is an effective FOV of 400mm * 2.0 * 1.5 * 2.0 = 2400. all were taken this weekend in the Hudson Valley region of NY State. Herb.... ------------- Great, Herb! I really like #1, #2, and #4. Style-wise #1 looks like a Japanese brush painting. #2 and #4 are nice close-ups with good composition of the branches. Some of the others don't do much for me, such as the one with all the grass -- not a good view of the birds, but all are decent close-ups. I would never have know a teleconvertor had been used. Marnie aka Doe Makes me hopeful for the future (re: mag factor of a DSLR). I've got to get a good teleconvertor (pls, no recommendations).
